It would be in your interest (in my opinion) to have a technician evaluate the set. While it could be a bad plasma panel, it could also be a poor connection from one of the driver boards. An estimate may cost $100-150, but compared to the cost of a new TV that would be a small investment. Again, a picture of the problem may help me provide a better clue as to what is wrong. Thanks for your response

There will be a fault in either the Y or Z sustain boards, these are responsible for driving the screen 9hence sound but no picture). The popping sound willhave either been a fuse blowing on the board or another possibility is one of the drive ICs on the buffer board has blown. If so it's best to replace the board.

In the menu, there should be an option for AUTO VOLUME, see what this is set at, change it and see if it works. Also there is another option for INTERNAL MUTE, though I still haven't found out what it's for, myself. Give both a go. If neither of these work, try looking at the support pages on the Samsung website. Other than that, I can only suggest you take it back to where you purchased it, and ask for an exchange.
